PITTSGROVE — Bryce Ayars told friends and teammates in school today he was going to score a goal against arch rival Schalick today. He just had that feeling.

It took nearly 71 hard minutes of soccer, but much like Babe Ruth calling his shot, the Woodstown senior fulfilled his prophecy. And the goal was significant.

Ayars stole the ball off a defender just outside the box and beat the Schalick keeper with a left-footed shot for the game-winner in a 2-1 road victory that coach Darren Huck said could afford the Wolverines “one heck of a bus ride home while were going down Route 40.”

It was the Wolverines’ first win over Schalick since the 2022 season opener in overtime (five games) and handed the Cougars (4-2-1) their first Tri-County Diamond Division loss since 2023 (21 games).

“I let my coach know I was going to score, I let the whole team know,” Ayars said. “Most of them look up to me, so in these big games I have to step up and finish the deal.

“When I play Schalick I really want one, I don’t know if it will come, but I’ll try my best to make it happen.”

It was the second year in a row he has scored on the Cougars. The goal Monday was his fifth of the season and 25th of his career. Ben Lippincott brought the ball up the field got it into the box. Ayars stole it from Cooper Willoughby then after a controlling touch shot it past keeper Evan Sepers, who was otherwise brilliant in the Schalick goal.

“The goal was probably about composure, that was the thing that stuck out to me,” Huck said while his entire squad stood around him. “He was composed in front of the net. He didn’t get tense. He didn’t come up short and got nervous because it wasn’t on the right foot or it took a bad bounce. 

“He’s a senior, he’s a captain and he knows that he either makes it and he’s a hero or if he doesn’t make it people are going why, and he answered the call.”

Twenty-four hours earlier the two head coaches, both 300-game winners and neighbors, were enjoying each other’s camaraderie watching the Eagles’ game, as they often do in the fall. There was no talk of the upcoming soccer game between them. The only teams they talked about were the two on the TV in front of them.

When it came to Monday’s game, however, they were all business and the competition between the teams was as intense as ever.

Schalick’s Jaxon Weber opened the scoring on a 25-yard rocket into the upper right corner with 23:43 left in the first half. Lippincott got the equalizer for the Wolverines (4-0-1) 10 minutes before halftime.

Woodstown keeper Trey Markward was a rock in goal and turned away several Schalick corner kicks in the air. He made 17 saves. When the horn sounded, the Wolverines poured off the bench and dogpiled the goalie in the crease.

“The first goal was 100 percent on me so we just had to kind of regroup and find a way to get back in it and then we scored two goals against the toughest defense in this group,” Markward said. “It was just the complete team getting through it and not stopping after that mistake. I just thought we had 11 guys back there at all times.”

“He came up with some big saves,” Huck said. “He came off his line. He was aggressive. He didn’t let anybody push him around. He basically let the people know that was his box today and took care of business out there.”

Given its magnitude, Huck said the victory “could be a season-changer” for the Wolverines.

“Every one of these guys had each other’s back out here today; I think that was evident,” Huck said. “It came down to one thing and that was a W. It didn’t come down to who scored the goal, how many saves did Trey have, who had the assists or anything else. It was about the W and they got it done today.”

The Cougars, meanwhile, were left to do a little regrouping. The loss was their second one-goal loss in a row after scoring 21 goals in their previous four games. Their attack was impacted by the unavailability of injured leading scorer Luke Price. Second-leading scorer Steve Chomo had to come out after a scary collision in the second half.

“These last two games have been battles.,” Cougars coach Joe Mannella said. “I thought Washington Twp. (in the season opener) kind of showed we’ve got some toughness to us and these last two (games) kind of showed that we lost that.”

NOTES: The teams meet again Oct. 16 in Woodstown … The Wolverines haven’t been unbeaten in their first five games since 2011, when they started the season 6-0 (with five shutouts) …
The Wolverines return to action Thursday at Pitman in the “Orange Cup” match.

PENNSVILLE 4, GLOUCESTER CATHOLIC 0: Justin Michaca and Sam Hassler scored in the first 10 minutes to give the Eagles (4-2) control of the match and John Sassi and Danny Bunny Coronel scored two minutes apart in the second. Coen Rinnier made six saves in goal. All four of the Eagles’ wins have been shutouts.

PENNS GROVE 3, OVERBROOK 2: Rooby Dorival moved up front for overtime and scored his second golden goal in three games when he converted a pass from Prince Ledbetter midway through the first overtime. Dorival also scored the game-winner against Glassboro that started the Red Devils’ current three-match unbeaten streak.

Poyraz Erdönmez and Anthony Pacheco scored Penns Grove’s other goals. Overbrook tied the match in the final minute of regulation.

“It was a good win,” Penns Grove coach Mano Massari said. “But we kind of have a way of shooting ourselves in the foot with silly mistakes that keep other teams in the game and keep us from putting the game away.”

It was tough to celebrate the win, however. Red Devils senior Louby Guerrier broke his collarbone on a breakaway in the second half. The game was delayed about 30 minutes while medical officials attended to him.

“It was a brutal loss, a brutal, brutal loss,” Massari said. “The kids won it for him, that’s for sure.”

CLAYTON 5, SALEM TECH 0: Jonathan Rehm ran his season total to 15 goals with three against the Chargers. It was his fifth multi-goal game of the season.

Salem County Saturday: Pennsville makes good on its second chance for a first win; Woodstown, Salem fall; includes WJFL Diamond, Patriot standings

AUDUBON – The folks in the stands might have thought Pennsville lost its chance to win Saturday when it fumbled near the goal line late in the fourth quarter, but the Eagles weren’t going to be denied. Given a second chance, they weren’t going to miss again.

Freshman Chase Johnson hauled in a 10-yard pass from Robbie McDade and crossed the goal line with 10 seconds to play to lift the Eagles over Audubon 22-17 for their first win of the season.

They had a chance to take the lead a few minutes earlier, but usually reliable Rylan Hardy fumbled at the 7 with the end zone in sight.

“The biggest thing for us this year is we struggle when things go bad getting back and playing the next play,” Pennsville coach Mike Healy said. “Today there were a lot of emotional swings, but our kids kept stepping up, coming back out and playing the next play and playing to the final play.”

The Eagles (1-3) didn’t hang their heads when it looked like their last-minute rally would fall sort for the second week in a row. Instead, their defense dug in and gave them another chance. They held strong after Hardy’s rare fumble and forced the Green Wave to punt.

“That was the big thing the whole day, things we didn’t get done and stepped back up,” Healy said. 

McDade went to work at the 40 with less than a minute left and all his timeouts in hand. The first two passes fell incomplete, then Kane Green hauled one in to get them to the 10. McDade finished off the drive with a slant over the middle to Johnson for the go-ahead score.

It was the senior quarterback’s first successful fourth-quarter game-winning drive of his career.

The Eagles led 6-3 at the half and 14-10 after three quarters. Audubon led 17-14 with 3:47 to play.

“My mindset was one play at a time and see where it gets us,” McDade said of the winning drive. “With a minute left all you’re thinking is next play, positive plays, positive plays, one on top of the other, and we got it done. All 11 guys had to do their job and they manned up and we got the outcome we wanted. It was very nice.”

The Eagles were in a similar position last week against Overbrook, but came up empty. They lost a 21-0 first-quarter lead, but had two shots at the end zone from the 34 in the final eight seconds and both fell incomplete.

This time they weren’t going to be denied. McDade agreed last week’s disappointment pushed them to finish this one.

“You’re just emotionally spent after both games, but one you’re excited and the other you’re just devastated,” Healy said. “The feeling after seeing the kids all excited was great.”

The quarterback seconded that emotion.

“It’s a lot better being on the other end of it, for sure,” he said.

Tough day for Wolverines

WOODBURY – When you’re a young football team learning to play on this level sometimes you just run into games like this.

Woodstown ran into a Woodbury team that hadn’t won a game all season and had scored only eight points in its last two, but that’s not the Thundering Herd the Wolverines got Saturday..

The Herd rushed for nearly 300 yards, scored the first five touchdowns of the game and swamped the Wolverines 42-6.

“I know I’m sounding like a broken record, but it’s a young team that is really learning how to play varsity football,” Woodstown coach Frank Trautz said. “We’re just not there yet. We’re going to be, we’re going to get there, but we’re learning how to play varsity football right now.”

The Wolverines’ spirit was rocked by devastating injuries to a pair of sophomore linemen in the first half.

Antonio Merendino sustained a serious knee injury chasing down Woodbury running back Dale Thomas , the eventual star of the game, on the Wolverines’ first defensive play of the game. 

A more frightening injury occurred midway through the second quarter when Abraxus (Rax) Hannah was knocked to the ground and was motionless for a brief period before being transported from the field by ambulance.

The Wolverines were chasing after Woodbury quarterback Nico Jimenez on a play from inside the 10 when the injury occurred. A broadcast of the play shows from just outside the frame Hannah appearing to take a frontal hit that knocked him backwards onto the field.

The game was delayed nearly 20 minutes while medical officials attended to him. He was said to have briefly lost consciousness on the field, but was moving and talking with Woodstown game personnel before being taken from the field.

“That was a very scary injury,” Trautz said. “Thankfully, though, he’s OK. I just talked to his parents. They have him up, walking, they’re going to discharge him from the hospital. Ultimately, that’s the most important thing, that he’s OK.”

Trautz agreed the injury to Hannah “took a lot of wind out of the sails.” The Wolverines managed just 116 yards of net offense and five first downs after the delay. Woodbury, meanwhile, ran for a touchdown on the first snap after play resumed and the Herd scored all four times it touched the ball in the second half, including returning the second-half kickoff for a touchdown.

Thomas rushed for 135 yards and four touchdowns in the game.

The Wolverines did what they could. They avoided the shutout when quarterback Frankie Hoerst threw a 67-yard touchdown pass to Sincere Cook-Reese in the closing seconds of the third quarter. The Wolverines only got five snaps in the fourth quarter because of the running block.

“Ultimately, our kids battled them; they just continue to fight,” Trautz said. “They’re leaving it all out there every week.

“I give them all the credit in the world. It’s tough when you’re on the wrong end of some of those games and it’s easy to quit at times, but our kids keep battling their butts off and they keep fighting. That’s all you can ask of them.”

PENNSVILLE — Woodstown freshman Margaux Lipovsky gets excited any time she can put the ball in the back of the goal, but there was a special sense of relief when her shot broke the plane in the first five minutes of Friday’s match against Pennsville.

The goal ended a two-game dry spell for the Wolverines and sent them on the way to a 6-0 victory over their county rivals.

“It made me really excited,” Lipovsky said. “Once it rolled to my stick I kind of knew that instant it was going to go in. You just get that feeling that it’s going to go in and when you follow through and see it on the backboard it’s a good feeling.”

The Wolverines (2-2) had gone more than 125 minutes without a goal since Lipovsky scored in the fourth quarter of their season-opening 7-0 rout of Deptford. It was the program’s longest drought since going four straight games without scoring Oct. 9-18 of last year.

But they lit the lamp six times against the Eagles, with goals from six different players. Zoe Lipovsky made it 2-0 early in the second quarter, followed by goals from Corinne Cocking, Bella Eachus, Talia Guardascione (on an assist from Margaux) and Brooke Dillon.

“There was definitely some relief in there that we still have our offensive lineup,” junior captain Shyann Higinbotham said. “It was just about finishing. Finally getting to finish today proved our point that we still have it in us.”

The power surge was a nice 75th birthday present for new coach Gloria Byard. After the game the players serenaded their coach with a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” and gifted their former Olympian a comfy throw embossed with familiar words of wisdom.

“I wasn’t really surprised,” Byard said. “I know these guys are really a group of awesome, appreciative young ladies. They work hard. They don’t ask for anything. It’s a good group of young ladies, so I’m not surprised at all (what they did).”

Interestingly, for all the playing and living she has done, Friday, she said, was the first time she ever played or coached a game on her birthday.

“It’s ironic her first year being here it was on her birthday, and I think her coming back here to end it at Woodstown when she started at Woodstown is really special,” Higinbotham said. “It’s cool to be coached by her for my final two years here.”

The players gave the throw a more personal touch by stitching it with all of their favorite sayings from the coach. Lipovsky’s favorite is “You guys look like human cones” (a reference to standing around with the ball in play). For Higinbotham, her favorite is a little more direct – “Hard work works.”

That part of it did surprise the coach.

“That was amazing; it was like, wow,” she said. “It’s like they do listen to me, huh? They pay attention.”

The win Friday may not have been taken for granted, but it was always in the (birthday) cards.

“I knew we had a big shot at winning, but you never know, one any given day anything can happen,” Byard said. “But that’s the one thing: They were practicing yesterday and said coach, for your birthday gift we’re going to win.’ I said, ‘you promise?’ They said ‘definitely.’”

SALEM 2, CLAYTON 1: Julliana Love scored two goals, including the game-winner with five minutes left, and Ava Rodgers stopped a penalty stroke as the Rams (1-3) won for the first time under new coach Brittany Bryant.

After the teams played through a scoreless first half. Love broke the ice in the first minute of the third quarter. The Clippers tied it and Rodgers kept it that way when she stopped a penalty stroke. Love put the Rams back on top with her fifth goal of the year and then they held on.

“Winning our first game was amazing,” Love said. “It was a nice look of what winning felt like for the new girls on the team.

“Being able to lead my team into winning the game felt great to know that I lead the team, but I couldn’t do it without my fellow teammates having my back. Knowing I got to put two goals in the cage for my team and coaches made me so happy to know I didn’t let them down.”

SCHALICK 10, OVERBROOK 0: Ava Scurry had two goals and three assists, Luci Virga surpassed 100 career points with two goals and an assist. Virga now has 39 points and 24 assists in her career. The 10 goals are the most in a game for the Cougars since swamping Cumberland 11-0 51 weeks ago.

WOODSTOWN – Penns Grove goalie Dwayne Guzman Silva lives for these moments. The kind that keeps him on his toes, the kind that mean the difference between winning and losing (or tying as the case may be). He certainly was in his element Thursday.

GUZMAN SILVA

Penns Grove and Woodstown were locked in a tight battle for 100 minutes. And while the keeper at the other end did his part to keep the drama going, it was Guzman Silva who made the difference in the Red Devils coming out with a 1-1 tie instead of absorbing a fifth straight loss to the Wolverines.

The Penns Grove senior keeper was credited with 20 saves in the game. He was challenged throughout the second half and overtime but continually stood his ground. 

“I live for these type of moments,” Guzman Silva said. “Competitive, especially with my friends, family (around). I like to think of it like it’s an honor to have pressure on you. People like to hate. I like haters.”

You’ll get no argument from Red Devils’ coach Mano Massari when it comes to his goalie holding up under pressure. He’s been a fan of his keeper for a long time.

“I’ve been preaching about this kid for the last four years,” he said. “I really do think he’s an absolute stud. I think he doesn’t get a lot of credit and a lot of looks because of our score sometimes. We haven’t had the strongest defense in the past. I think he has saved games from being 3-1 (instead of) 6 or 7 to 1.

“That kid, in my mind, is the greatest keeper to come through Penns Grove. In the last 20 years easily. I’ve played here, I’ve coached here. In the last 10-15 years he’s easily the best to come through here. He saved us today, he really did. He stood on his head. I told him yesterday at practice for us to be in this game you’re gonna have to stand on your head and that’s what he did. He rose up to the occasion. I think we tied the game because of him. I wholeheartedly believe that.”

The only goal Guzman Silva allowed was by Ayden Ellis with 7:50 left in the first half. He said he got his fingers on the shot in traffic around the left post, but not enough to keep the ball from getting into the goal.

Woodstown coach Darren Huck would have liked his team to have put more pressure on the keeper.

“The keeper’s good (but), I think we only tested him once and that was shot by Landon (Gugliemo early in the second half),” he said. “I don’t think we tested him enough. I give all the credit on that save, but I would have liked to have tested him more.

“Right now we’re not doing that enough. We’re not testing the goalkeepers enough. That’s happened in the Glassboro game (a 1-0 win), that’s happened in the Overbrook game (a 3-2 win), and now it’s happened in this game. We’re trying to get that linkage with each other.”

Woodstown keeper Trey Markward, meanwhile, equally stood his ground. He was credited with 13 saves. The only goal he allowed was Mario Fuentes’ game-tying penalty kick midway through the second half. The penalty came as the result of a hand ball in the box within the wall defending a free kick.

Woodstown had the best chance to end it in overtime. Jack Bucksar broke in on the left side. Guzman Silva came off his line to challenge and turned the shot away, but he left the goal open. Bryce Ayars had a clean shot at the open net, but Penns Grove’s Rooby Dorival raced back into the box and cleared the ball away, paying a physical price in the process.

“Kudos to Rooby; that kid can cover some ground,” Massari said. “He’s got long strides, he’s not scared to put his body on the line. I want my other guys to take some stock out of that. That kid put his body on the line non-stop. He saved the goal there; he flat out did. Rooby’s not there, that’s a goal and we lose the game.”

That was the Wolverines’ best chance. Seconds before the end of the first overtime Ayars redirected a corner kick with his head that Guzman Silva saved.

It was a particularly chippy game with nine yellow cards.

Cooksey golden for Eagles

PENNSVILLE – Lucas Cooksey spent the last two years playing electric guitar in the Pennsville marching band before joining the Eagles’ soccer team for the first time this season. He struck the right chord on the pitch Thursday.

Cooksey ripped home a rebound in the first minute of the second overtime to give the Eagles a huge 1-0 win over Clayton.

After the teams battled for 90 minutes, mostly in the midfield, Pennsville turned up the attack. The Eagles won the ball quickly in the second overtime and Danny Bunay Coronel fired a shot from about 20 yards out. Clayton keeper Justin Delaney made a great diving save that deflected to the other side of the goal but Cooksey was right there to tap in the golden goal.

It was his second goal of the season.

“I told him he could do both, but he’s like, no, I just want to commit to soccer,” Pennsville coach Derek Foglein said. “I said OK. I’m not going to say no to that.”

The win gave the Eagles (3-2) the early upper hand in the Tri-County Classic Division and comes on the heels of a 1-0 own-goal loss to Glassboro earlier in the week.

Pennsville keeper Coen Rinnier made two one-on-one saves on Clayton striker Jonathan Rehm in the second half to keep the game scoreless. All three of the Pennsville’s wins this season have been shutouts.

“Tuesday it didn’t fall for us, but today it did,” Foglein said. “This is absolutely huge. We’ve got a stretch of three division games in a row and this is the one we had circled that we knew was going to be the challenge and the one we needed to go get. Now we can get healthy over the weekend and fly high into hopefully games where we should be favored.”

Egan gets his goal

GLASSBORO – Unbeaten Schalick spread the wealth for the second straight game, with six different players scoring goals, but none of the goals were more well-received than the one punched home by John Egan V in the second half.

Egan, a senior fan and player favorite who’s spent much of his career on the JV side, scored the first goal of his career in the second half of the Cougars’ 6-0 victory.

Ten days earlier, in the home opener against Overbrook, the Cougars set up Egan with three good chances to score in the second half without success. Against the Bulldogs, he was right on time.

“Everybody, of course, saw what happened in the Overbrook game, everybody was rooting for him,” Schalick coach Joe Mannella said. “It was actually a pretty nice goal.

“It came from (Luke) Price being really unselfish and set him up again. This time, he was on the left side and came in with the right foot. Everybody was recording everything, cheering for him. He was so over the moon. It was good for the team.”

Egan said he was “excited” to get the goal and admitted the occasion brought him tears of joy.

‘it was a great honor to get the goal and will be cherished for the rest of my life,” he said.

The Cougars’ other goals came from Marco Spinnato, Steve Chomo, Ryan Loper and Price in the first half, and Jaxon Weber in the second. They had seven players score goals in their 7-1 win over Clayton Tuesday.

Actually, Egan had a chance to get his goal earlier. Price approached Mannella at halftime and suggested if he got taken down in the box in the second half to let Egan take the penalty kick. As fate would have it, five minutes into the second half he gets taken down in the box and Egan gets to try the PK. But the keeper stopped it.

“I’m glad he was able to get one in regular play,” Mannella said.

PITTSGROVE – Cali Fisler is the kind of soccer player who would rather help her teammates score goals than put the ball in the back of the net herself and, frankly, she’s gotten pretty good at it.

And now there is no one better in school history.

Schalick girls soccer coach Will Kemp (R) congratulates Cali Fisler on becoming the program’s all-time assists leader.

Fisler set the Schalick school record for assists Thursday when she set up two Abby Willoughby’s three first-half goals in an 8-0 pasting of Glassboro. The senior center defensive midfielder now has 44 career assists, breaking the record held by Sara Copare since 2005.

“I love to cheer my teammates on,” Fisler said. “I would definitely rather have an assist than a goal because you just get the satisfaction of your pass getting completed and knowing you were the reason that that happened.

“Goals still feel great, but I just love seeing my teammates and celebrating them. I just think it’s so awesome.”

The East Stroudsburg commitment “honestly never thought” she would get the career record when she started because “it’s a really high number,” but she set her sights on it after setting the school’s single-season assist mark (22) her sophomore year. Most of her assists that year fueled Emily Miller’s 48-goal season.

She has recorded at least one assist in 29 games. In terms of getting it past the keeper herself, she has 19 career goals, one this season.

“There’s been many a time when Cali had an opportunity to score but she passes it off; that’s Cali for you,” Cougars coach Will Kemp said. “You always compare it to (NBA assistant great) Steve Nash, just seeing the game differently than anybody else.

“Obviously, being able to have somebody who can put that ball in the back of the net as well, that helps out, too, and Cali’s had so many players around her who have been able to score multi-goal games. When you have those players playing in front of you, it makes your life as an assister earlier and vice versa it makes your life as a goal scorer easier when you have a person who can be playing you in a ball like that.”

Fisler wasted little time getting the tying assist, sending a through ball into Willoughby to finish in the third minute of the match. She got the record-breaker in the 18th minute when she sent Willoughby off to split two defenders and finish at the near post for the natural hat trick.

Before the half ended, Izzy Desantis, Olivia Vanacker and Karlie Bakley extended the lead to 6-0. Vanacker and Kassady Sickler scored goals in the second half. 

Now that she has the “lot of weight” of the assists record off her shoulders Fisler can start to concentrate on becoming the additional goal scorer Kemp would like her to be. Right?

“Right,” she said, “but I want to build on the record, too.”

PENNSVILLE – Derek Foglein knew from Pennsville’s experience in the Pitman summer league Tuesday’s match with Glassboro was going to be a tight battle. On another day it might have come out differently, but on this day it went the other way.

The teams battled tightly all game, but Glassboro cashed in on a flukey goal late in the first half and held off Foglein’s Eagles 1-0 for its first win of the season.

“We had seen these guys in the championship game of the summer league and it was a tight game, too, so we knew it was going to be tight and there was gonna be a lot of speed both ways,” the Pennsville coach said. “You could’ve played that game 100 times and 50 times it would’ve went our way and 50 times it would’ve went theirs.

“We talked about it at halftime, too, that sometimes soccer is not a game that cares about your feelings. It just doesn’t. I don’t think we deserved to lose that game, but I guess today we were supposed to lose that game.”

If not for an odd deflection, it might have gone the other way.

Mohammad Naib Khil scored the only goal of the match with 5:58 left in the first half on a shot that deflected off a Pennsville defender.

The Bulldogs’ sophomore midfielder got the ball in the middle of the box off a Lucas Kudless corner kick and fired straight on at the net. Stevie Fatcher, the Eagles’ strongest defender, stepped in to clear as he’s done hundreds of times in his career, but this time the ball glanced off “the wrong part” of his knee and instead of carrying away from the goal deflected just inside the left post.

“It felt like the heart and soul of the game just got ripped out,” Fatcher said. “We still battled (after that) but I felt like it just went down after that.”

The Eagles (2-2) had two good chances to score earlier in the half. They thought they had a goal 10 minutes into the match that was cleared off the line and a couple later Ugur Elmali had a shot hit the left post and carom into the keeper’s arms.

Glassboro (1-2-1) appeared to have the best of it in the second half, although the Eagles turned up the heat in the final five minutes without getting the equalizer. Pennsville is now 5-6 in 1-0 games and 9-16 in one-goal games since 2020. Glassboro came into the game with two one-goal losses and a tie.

“I don’t know if it was necessarily a lack of attacking (in the second half), I just think it was a lack of an execution,” Foglein said. “We shifted the bodies forward, we had the talent in the front of the field where we normally do, we couldn’t find that last little pass to get us into (the right) places.”

SCHALICK 7, CLAYTON 1: The Clippers scored five minutes into the battle of unbeaten cross-division co-leaders, then it was all Schalick. Seven players scored goals for the Cougars (3-0-1): Ryan Loper, Luke Price, Connor Jackson, Steve Chomo, Jake Sepers, Marco Spinnato and Tyler Vanlier. The goals by freshmen Loper, Sepers and Manlier were the first of their careers.

“It’s great that we are trusting each other and playing unselfish soccer,” Cougars coach Joe Mannella said.

SALEM – Gracie Mease and Izzy Saulin are inseparable when it comes to the field hockey field. They sit together on the team bus on the way to games. They do pre-game warmups together. They’re as close to a Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid combination a team can have.

So it just goes to figure they connected together on all three of Mease goals in the first half and played some role in all six of Pennsville’s goals in total in a 6-1 victory over Salem Monday afternoon.

Mease, a senior left forward, figured in all four Pennsville goals in the first half with her first career hat trick and an assist. Saulin, a senior center mid, had a goal in the fourth quarter and a career-high four assists.

“We do try to partner up in as much as we can and then we just find each other,” Saulin said. “We don’t, like, plan it necessarily, but it happens. It’s funny because we don’t really talk (about it), we’ll just be partners.”

“For all four years we’ve been partners for everything,” Mease said. “I just think we work very well together.”

The Eagles have had 1-2 combinations like them in the past, but none coach Lisa Doran could recall in recent years.

“They just work together well, they talk to each other and they’re just a good combination, so that’s why they’re where they are, because they play well together,” Doran said. “They’re really starting to connect.”

Pennsville’s Gracie Mease (2) crosses the ball against Salem.

Before Monday’s game, Mease had scored only four goals in her three previous seasons with the Eagles (3-1). Saulin had only five career assists. But they were on target against the Rams (0-3).

Mease opened the scoring less than three minutes into the match. Julliana Love answered for the Rams 30 seconds later to tie it, then it was all Pennsville. Kendall Hoyt (on an assist from Mease) and Gina Haubrich (on an assist from Saulin) scored the other two goals. The Eagles outshot their hosts 17-5 and had a 14-2 edge in corners.

“I think we just really came together as a team and just focused on playing all as one instead of 11 different players on the field,” Saulin said. “I think that’s really what was the difference between this game and the last one (Thursday’s 1-0 loss to Gloucester Catholic).

“We made a point this year that we want everybody to be involved in everything. It’s not just I have to go in this game and I have to score and I have to get this many goals; we just want to help each other. It showed a lot this game with so many different people scoring. This game, when we have all these different people scoring is more fun than just one or two people.”

CUMBERLAND 5, SALEM TECH 1: Alaina Miletta scored three goals assisted on two others, and the Colts pulled away from a 1-0 game with four goals in the second half. Jessilyn Chambers scored the Chargers’ goal in the fourth quarter.
